Have you cycled the tank? For how long? The cycle takes about a month or more (depends on certain factors). The eSHa 2000 is shrimp and snail safe, it doesn't kill filter bacteria.

Are you sure it's not food or debri or bubbles stuck to the fish? I've seen this happen on my fish, then being gone after few minutes. If you are sure it's ICH, then get API White Spot medication and dose as on the bottle. Iirc, you can rise water temp to 32 Celsius then keep doing water...

I heard that actual fish TB is rare, and it's often worms.

Well, I've been told it's also could be due to not eating much. Guess I'll have to keep my eye on them.

I wanted to buy one golden mystery snail and one "coffee". Guess what? Ended up buying 3 freacken snails... cause the goldens were listed as TWO. I hate myself.

Hi, I don't see them poo that often. I often thought livebearers were constant poopers? Or are just juvis not such poop machines? They've had tons of frozen daphnia yesterday, some Hikari's First Bites today along with algae wafers (for hungry shrimps but yeah). One little female's poo was...

That's great! I have tons of shrimps so not worried about excess food. I'll order two later :)

I had two, but they died for a random reason. I'm just looking for a different snail. I might get the mystery snails, but are rabbits good too?

Welp ok. How do I make sure they're not hungry? Are they problematic to feed?

Sadly humanity can't get along 😔

Yeah, I completely understand issues that come with breeding fish. It's just sad to out so many fish into a small confined space :(

Nah

Hi, looking for couple weird goofy looking snails for my tank. Came by apples and rabbits. I have plants, live plants. I'm worried that both will eat them. Not dealing with nerite eggs, nope.

Goes both ways. Just. What.

I don't know what to think anymore

Perhaps 🤔 I don't disagree, this scenario is likely. But it's horrible either way, I hate how fish are like objects but things like cats or dogs are better protected. It's awful.

(Cut out sellers name and listing title, I'm only focusing just on the whyyyyyy part)

I'm scrolling through eBay hopelessly looking at different fish and being jealous at people keeping different fish... knowing that I have limitations.. But I digress.. 😐😑 Then I come by this monstrosity.... I can hear them scream for help.. Just whyyy...?

As females release their pheromones, males go coconuts and swim all over until they find their females and make out :)

As above, are you sure it's the shrimp itself? But if they molt, they have tendency to climb out the tank. Well, if it is the shrimp then I'm sorry, you can't do much :( Vampire shrimps need a fast water flow as they originate from fast flowing rivers. They also prefer harder water. What's the...

Yeah, I'm planning on getting more and scatter it about. How I moved my plants about today showed me how much I hate my pennywort being in one spot in a clump.

Thank you! Can't wait for those plants to finally grow in properly :) I sadly have hard water, otos like softer acidic water. I really want to give him some buddies tho. I have 6 kuhlis, I see them forage all the time. Sometimes they get the zoomies and swim all around :D

Might get ambulia for the bald spot or heteranthera. Will for sure get more pennywort, and scatter its stalks around the tank.

The two plants arrived today, tank looks so much better already! But the problem is... That I now have a big bald spot in the corner next to the amazon sword. Why-

Oh good.. Another fish to avoid lol. Maybe for the other tank I should get a paradise gourami, then let my guppies breed freely and just feed the thing with excess fry? The 55L will be pretty long so that'll give it space, and I'll make there tiny tunnels just for my loaches. Yeah, I think...

What about scarlet badis? Or are they soft water fish or would they just rip apart my shrimps?

I was only brain storming, not planning a ram. Just to see if there's a fish suitable for my, my tank size for eating excess fry?

That's great you're washing them, it's a big mistake that some fish keepers make. You don't need the carbon pads, unless you have toxins in the tank or you stopped dosing medication. If you will be dosing any meds, take the carbon out as it will hinder the treatment process.

Yeah, it's really great. I just hate how mine just grows straight horizontally lol.

Seems like the water hardness is only a part of the problem. It wouldn't make fish go off their food (unless I'm mistaken) and poop a lot. I've had my fish in the past poop a lot before it turned white and stringy, then followed by thin looking fish and then deaths. For water changes, you...

More males than females lol, but I will be keeping a few babs. It's why I will be setting up a 55L, for fry. Keep a few babs, sell the rest. Hm. I know I might not be this successful selling them, who even wants share of the trouble hm. Is there a nice fish that would be happy to take them as...

Handsome lil' boi 😍

Thing is, I already have endlers and reg guppies. And most likely hybrids between these two as well.

Moppy is cross between molly and guppy. Quite an adorable name for their hybrids.

Yeah, totally forgor there are so many pool noodles.

Bettas are soft water fish, so are loaches. I believe frogs also prefer softer acidic water like the other two species. Mollies are extremly hard water fish needing 250+ppm hardness. They also need a 30+ gallon tank, they get pretty big. For guppies, I personally say 200+ppm hardness. I keep...

That's correct, my water is hard. I tried looking online for the fish, but I can't find any. Sad.
